MARY’S FIVE POINT PLAN FOR A STRONG AND STABLE MARRIAGE

  1. Wear invisible wax earplugs while your partner is ranting on a familiar theme. You have heard it a thousand times before…
  2. Keep different hours from the annoying partner so you have fewer waking hours exposed to them.
  3. Give space in your home to a third person who can act as a buffer between you and your partner to make you all behave better.
  4. Compliment your partner on his or her achievements and acts of kindness towards you.
  5. Ignore their provocations.
